Abstract

A circuit assembly is provided for a switched-mode power supply of an electric auxiliary device at the site of a connected electric load located in a power circuit in which a switch element switches the operating state of the load with low losses while the auxiliary device is permanently supplied with electric energy. The circuit assembly has a bridge component arranged in a parallel circuit with respect to the switch element, and a support component connected upstream of the load such that the load is supplied with power on the basis of the switch position of the switch element, and at least one auxiliary device arranged between the bridge component and the support component and which is supplied with power without interruption regardless of the switch position of the switch element. The bridge component has a cyclically conductive switch element, and the support component has a anti-cyclically conductive switch element and a storage element.
